In this video I will show you why oil and electronics can sometimes represent a useful combination. Along the way I will perform a couple of experiments with the oil in order to determine its resistance as well as its cooling capacity. Let’s get started!

For computer cooling transformer oil is not good solution, better solution is perfluorotripentylamine or perfluoro 2-butyl-tetrahydrofurane (3M Fluorinert FC-70 or FC-75 respectively) which was used for cooling Cray supercomputers.

We have almost the same multimeter. Mine is a UT61E. What do you think of the voltage protection? According to Dave on EEVBLOG they shouldn't even be Cat III rated. From what I've heard elsewhere, the reason is that the ones meant for the Chinese market don't include metal oxide varistors but ones for America and EU do include them. Mine came from China in a Chinese box, but I haven't looked inside it yet. I think it's a great meter for the price. But I hate the battery connector and compartment.
